Day Ninety Eight - The One in Which I List All The Things


I slacked! I goofed off! I didn't blog!!!!

But I didn't give up - on anything. 

So I'm not Lekeisha.  WHO IS??  There can be only one Lekeisha. But I'm me.  And my life is, indeed, very different than it was on January 11, 2014, when I began this challenge.

To begin with, my physical stats:

Measurements:

                     1/5/14                    4/18/14
Bust:             36.75                      35.75
Arm:              11                           10
Back:             32.5                         32
Waist:            30                           28.75
Abdomen:      33                           31.5
Hips:              37.75                      37.4


Weight:         146.8                    136


Gym Attendance:   5-6 days a week every week up to 3/31 

Clutter Clearance:   Bedroom done.  Living Room rearranged.  Kitchen 1/2 done

Creative work and math work - these two took a back seat to my new class and my new project ideas.
I've been kicking bootay (so far) in my class. 

I have gone to a dentist AND a periodontist!  The bad news is that I still haven't gotten the restoration work I need done.  (But I tried!!).  The additional bad news is that out of 31 teeth (one never developed), 30 of them do not need periodontic work - after all of those years of fears.  And the last one is too far gone too help.  He said it could be in my mouth for "years and years", but that there's no use trying to save it.

Oh well.

This didn't stop me from getting a much needed bleaching. 

I have seen my OB/GYN and my General Physician. I scheduled a mammogram, but it won't happen until April 29. 

Still on the health agenda: a colonoscopy, the molar restoration and Invisalign.

And on the Alex front:  WE HAVE A 504!!!
His teacher has lost patience with him at this point, but the better part of that is that he's one of five boys in the class with whom she's lost patience.  She truly has a zero tolerance policy for bullying of any kind, so his social life is fine, even if he still dislikes school.  He still says he feels like a "bad kid" in school sometimes, but it's not every day.

Best news on the Alex front: He's now going to Keeps (and loves it) and he'll be going to the Children's Learning Center again in the summer.

He's passed his 7th birthday and his Science Fair (DNA project). 

The school, however, is finally off my case.  I'll deal with his medical needs on a timetable that works for US instead of their pressure and demands.

But my biggest news of the whole 100 days:

And one from April 17, 2014


 YEAH! I had "it" done!  Woot!!

I put off the molar restoration to have this done at a time that I could take a week for recovery.  The molar restoration was a nightmare and a half, but it's in the past.  I'll find another dentist who can deal with patients that have stubborn nerves like this tooth has. 

I've written to my old professor. I started a study group.  I told my classmates about my plans to start the Economics Club up again as well as talk to the grad advisor.  I plan to do both the week I get back.  

I also have a NEW internet inspiration.  Her name is Ernestine Shepherd and I plan to write all about her in a later entry.

Big things have come of this challenge.  BIG things.  And even bigger things are set to come.
